Vincent Appleby of Eureka Lodge reports:
23/05/2013: There was some great action on the Big Lake/Lough Currane today, first in the striking zone was Mr. Michael Shultz of Berlin Germany, who caught a fine 10.5 lbs. Salmon on the troll, with his Gillie Mr. Tom O’Shea of www.flyfishingatloughcurrane.com also in good form was Mr. Arthur White of Cornwall of the UK, who caught a fine Salmon on the troll, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Bob Priestley. Staying in the trolling department, Mr. Kevin Lane fishing out of Coffey’s Bay, caught a 10 lbs.Salmon on the troll, and last but not least, Mr. Tim Loxton of the UK caught 11.5 lbs Salmon on the troll with his Gillie Mr. Frank Donnelly of www.lakelandshouse.com Wind N and cold with bright sunshine.
24/05/2013: Straight to the Sea Trout department, Mr. Nigel Henshaw of the UK, caught a fine 3.254kg Sea Trout on a Silver Stoat, and finished his day off with a fine Sea Trout of 2lbs. Nigel was fishing with his Gillie Mr. Dominic McGillicuddy of www.fishingwithdom.com and for the rest of we anglers, all we caught was a suntan.
25/05/2013: My noble fly fishers had a hard day of it because of the lack of wind and because of this some anglers headed for the high stool, while others stuck at it and come 3.30 pm the wind came from the SE light and it wasn’t long before renowned Gillie Mr. Michael O’Sullivan of Waterville Boats and at [email protected] caught a fine Sea Trout on the drift. In the Salmon department Mr. Arthur White of the UK caught a fine Grilse on the troll, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Bob Priestley. Wind as already stated, overcast with light misty rain on and off all day.
26/05/2013: All the Sea Trout head lines go to Mr. Marcel Guillou of the UK, who caught a fine 4lbs Sea Trout on the drift, while fishing with his Gillie Mr. Vincent O’Sullivan of www.vincentsfishing.com Wind SW fresh to strong and overcast.
27/05/2013: Mr.Arthur White of the UK fishing with his Gillie Mr. Bob Priestley caught a 4.5 lbs Grilse on the troll.
All quiet on the SW front and with a cold NW blowing with heavy showers throughout the day, its not surprising my Noble Game fish were in a lethargic mood, or putting it in plain English, my noble anglers failed miserably in their duties.
28/5/13 All quiet on all fronts, be it fly or troll. Wind NW fresh, and just for the record it made a small flood last night, amount of rainfall in the 24 hours 8.3mm.
That is your ration for this week, from your Gillie and the Waterville Fishery, no spin no fly’s just facts.
